In 20 years of motoring with several cars, the Car makers exhaust seems to last 2 - 4 years + for normal steel in normal conditions, but normally costs more. Most of the cheapest will last 1 year with normal motoring, some come with up to a 3 year guarantee (fast fit places). Repairing exhausts - worth it? - SaltrampenĪs many will tell you you can get a huge range of thickness's of steel and grades of steel going into an exhaust. That way it gets another twelve months out of the exhaust component and saves some cash in the process that would otherwise in my opinion be wasted. If it is not too critical I tend to Gun Gum it up, to get it through the MOT as it is unlikely to fall apart completely before the next year. The car tends to eat exhaust components and normally the first signs are little holes around where the pipe enters the silencer(s). That said I do occasionally use Gun Gum, mainly on an elderly relatives Renault 5 that is lucky to do 1000 miles per annum. It will never be as good as replacing the offending part. How long it can be expected to last depends on what you are trying to repair, how you apply it and also down to the use that the vehicle gets. It is a thick horrible putty type stuff that basically fills over smallish holes and is only really good for temporary repairs. The 'special putty' that your dad used all of those years ago was probably Holts Gun Gum. ![]()
